Charities & Social Enterprise

Charities and Social Enterprise

We work in partnership with charities and social enterprises across the UK and Ireland to help deliver mutual objectives. We believe that true community impact can only happen when people come together in true partnership.

We are planning on involving more charities and social enterprises in our projects and making sure each Games delivers more impact. Specifically, we want to build our capacity and reach through partnership working and sharing of resources and expertise.

We aim to win the financial support of charities, social enterprises and philanthropists so that by 2017, 100% of our projects will have some form of financial contribution from charities, social enterprises and/or philanthropists.

If you would like to talk to us in more detail about how we can work together, or are just interested in what we do, please do get in touch.

Testimonials

We work with SportInspired because they know how to deliver for the community and for corporates.

Nick Wright-Head Community Affairs, UBS

When I did 10 metres I felt great. I felt really happy when I did my 250. Everyone says “Well done” and “That’s great Lewis” and that makes me feel happy. It’s like an achievement of my life. It’s one of the best things I've ever done.

Lewis Deller-Student at Valence Primary School

SportInspired’s Games aren’t just about having a fantastic day. It is great for business and delivers a foundation for promoting sports participation and accessing sport in the community, leaving a tangible and sustainable legacy we can all be proud of.

Bob Thust-Marketing Director, Deloitte

You see the kids coming in and some of them are as quiet as anything, withdrawn, and they go out and they are maybe six inches taller than they were when they came in, you know, just on a complete high.

SportInspired’s approach has provided the Council with a platform that brings all key stakeholders together and helps us to align our projects and initiatives. In a recent Games programme, 92% of the 900 young people stated they were more likely to take up sport, had improved their team working skills, and had more confidence.

Andy Knight-Group Manager for Community

I want to say how pleased me and my husband are about all the opportunities you have given my boy. He is really proud of himself and we are really proud of him as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams-Barking and Dagenham Parents

Through working with SportInspired, I have gained many local contacts with schools, community clubs and local community. SportInspired has played a key role in helping to lay down a clear pathway to the community that will help further develop and inspire our children. Thames View Junior School has welcomed this with open arms, and so have many other schools in the Borough.

Cameron Hall-PE Coordinator, Thames View Junior School

The games are great! It gives young people the opportunity to try a number of different sports and that is key. It has really raised the awareness of basketball in the community and has helped our school programmes grow from strength to strength.

I had fun with my friends and it was the best day of my whole life!

Stanley-Year 4 at Avonda

I deal with a lot of difficult customers on the phone, and whenever I get a difficult customer I just think of the day I was there and how happy the kids were.

Thanks for the amazing opportunity, the students loved it, and will remember it for a long time.

They clearly understand the needs of schools and young people when delivering their programmes, which are of the highest quality.
We welcome any future involvement with the organisation and its employees, in helping to inspire a generation.”
